Food, Inc.

I can't stress enough how much this movie grosses me out. I promised my best friend I would go see this with her last semester because she had to watch it for this class also and we walked out of it feeling sick to our stomachs. We went into it really hungry and we were going to eat after it. Ohhhh how that movie made us think twice about what we wanted to eat. I love how it says on the picture that "You'll never look at dinner the same way" because after seeing that movie that night, I understood why. I didn't eat meat for like 2 weeks after that movie. There are still times when I look at meat and think back to this movie and how those poor animals were treated. I always feel awful when I eat meat but I love it too much to give it up, which I know is horrible. But, whenever and if I ever have kids, I am not allowing them to eat meat till they are in elementary school because I can't imagine what that poor lady and her family went through after her 2 year old son died.

Man o Man..

When we got to class on thursday I definatly did not expect to see a substitute teacher! lol That was my first time with a Sub in a college class. I'm not gonna like, I didn't think this happened in college! lol But on the plus side, I really enjoyed this class. The tresure hunt was fun! I was really mad that I missed one of the questions on the tresure hunt! But I'm glad I could help the others with that last question! And majority of them got 100%... good deed for the week? I THINK SO! So I hope Kate was/isn't sick or anything! I definatley need her back in class to help me with this essay! These essays will be the death of me! After tossing ideas back and forth I have finally decided on what to write!

Game ON!

This Thursdays class was actually really fun doing that hunt thing on the computer. I felt like I was in some kind of race the whole time. I have to admit that I was getting a little frustrated when Jessica was ahead of me in the questions. Hahaha I just hate loosing at games like that. But we still really enjoyed ourselves and the rest of the class seemed to be having a fun time with it as well. The only part that made me really mad was when I couldn't figure out how to log into the ebooks online and everyone else seemed to be cruising at it. But then Jessica figured it out and told me what it was so it was all good from there. I wonder who got the extra credit points for being done with it first though? I sure know I didn't get it since a ton of people left before I finished with it. I'm glad we did that for practice though because it really helped me understand and learn how to use the online sources through the library.

Sorry this is late!

So I didn't have any internet where I was this past weekened, and trying to post a blog on my cell phone, well, let's just say I was not very successfull. lol. So my opinion on what we did in class on thurday, well I was sooo bored! That was the third class like that that I had taken, and this instructor by far was the worst. I felt like I was watching Ben Stein. Do you know how hard it was to keep myself awake! OMG! But I guess it helps that I know what to do already, because I wouldn't have been able to stay awake if weren't have been for the computer sitting in front of me.

HA! Librarians are so funny...

Todays class was ridiculous and quite funny all at once. It was ridiculous at the fact that the librarian took an entire class period just to explain to us how to search the library via internet. It could have easily taken 15-20 minutes max to explain how to do everything. But no, he wanted to explain everything in detail and in depth. I thought it was hilarious when he was showing us where the books number is located and how to find it in the library. Who honestly has never gone to the library and learned how to find the book they are looking for? I even know how to find them and I HATE reading and barely use the library. Its like one of the first things you learn in elementary school. You even take "field trips" to the library when you are in elementary school because kids love looking up books. If you have never looked up a book in a library, then you must of had some really easy teachers in middle school-high school.

"Poltics and The English Language...." What?

GEORGE ORWELL.... If you could hear me, I would tell you how much I DISLIKED this essay! It's wasn't that it was stupid, I didn't understand any of it! I wish I could find a "Politics and the English Language... FOR DUMMIES!" That would make things a lot easier! I was so confused when I was writing the notes, but I managed! Today in class we talked about euphemism's and I couldn't help but to crack up at some of the one's on the website. I thought a lot of them were kinda perverted. But maybe it was just because Kate said they were! My favorite was blowing the brass trumpet! I about died! But back to Orwell, I've never really had any trouble understanding things, but this essay took me on a roller coaster ride! My brain actually hurt! I guess it's going to be a loooooong weekend of studying and breaking down this essay! Boo.

Hitler Baby

As we talked about Hitler in class today, all I could think about was the Hitler baby. I think this picture is hilarious! My 11th grade history teacher showed me this when we talked about Hitler in class and every time someone says Hitler now, this picture is what pops in my head. Hitler was very brilliant, but so messed up at the same time. Its just crazy what people will do to other humans. He was an amazing speaker and very persuasive, but that doesn't make up for what he did to all those poor Jews. I loved The Office video that we watched in class today too. I love The Office ever since I started watching it at the 3rd season. But I have never seen this episode of it yet. I really enjoy when she shows videos like that in class because it helps me to really connect with what we are working on in the class.
